Solid Perfect-Surface Copper+ (PSC+) Conductors
Solid
conductors prevent strand-interaction, a major source of dynamic
distortion. Extreme-purity PSC+ solid copper minimizes distortion caused
by grain boundaries, and, when direction-controlled for surface
asymmetry, facilitates crucial Radio-Frequency Noise-Dissipation.
Carbon-Based Linearized Noise-Dissipation System (NDS)
AQ’s
comprehensive Linearized Noise-Dissipation System combines multiple
shields and a carbon-based linearized resistive network that turns most
of this noise into heat. By "linearized," we mean that the system is
equally effective across extremely wide bandwidth, rather than at
selected frequencies only, as is more common. The remaining bad energy
is effectively drained away from the sensitive amplifier circuits via
directionally controlled signal and shield conductors.
ZERO-Tech
The only complete way to eliminate
characteristic-impedance mismatches between a cable and the attached
source and load is for the cable not to have any fixed
characteristic-impedance value. ZERO-Tech accomplishes this by
eliminating interaction between the insulation (dielectric) and the
cable’s conductors—enabling uncompressed current transfer. All-important
transient current is unrestricted, and RF Noise-Dissipation is
linearized (consistent octave to octave).
RF/ND-Tech (BASS CABLE ONLY)
Though
a cable’s ground leads are integral to a component’s signal
transmission, they also act as an antenna. Thus, they are subject to
induced Radio-Frequency (RF) noise. RF noise is a parasitic signal that
is typically coupled directly into a system’s most sensitive audio/video
circuits. AudioQuest’s RF-on-ground Noise-Dissipation (RF/ND-Tech)
greatly reduces resulting distortion and signal masking, yielding
unprecedented levels of Noise-Dissipation across the widest bandwidth
(range) of radio frequencies possible. Our unique circuit topology uses a
common-mode phase-cancelling array, providing linear Noise-Dissipation
across the entire length of the cable (US Patent # 8,988,168).
72v Dielectric-Bias System (DBS) with Level-X RF Noise-Trap
Insulation
is also a dielectric that acts like a shunt-filter. Properly biasing
the dielectric linearizes the filter, significantly improving the
cable’s wide-bandwidth ability to dissipate induced noise. The DBS
pack’s Level-X Noise-Trap “pulls” RF Noise out of the cable, further
reducing attached audio circuit misbehavior.
ThunderBird Bi-Wiring
When possible, running
separate cables to the treble and bass “halves” of a speaker
significantly reduces distortion. Bi-Wiring keeps the large magnetic
fields associated with bass energy out of the treble cable, allowing the
delicate upper frequencies to travel a less magnetically disturbed
path, like taking the waves out of the water when you swim.
AudioQuest’s RF/ND-Tech (patented RF-Canceling Ground-Noise-Dissipation) attracts RF energy away from the amplifier’s output. When properly implemented, Bi-Wiring has always been a cost-effective way to get better performance for the same or less money. With RF/ND-Tech, the advantage of Bi-Wiring is much more dramatic. Because RF/ND-Tech is so effective, BASS model cables are only for 10KHz and below; do not use a BASS cable full-range or on treble.
ThunderBird BASS cable is ideal with ThunderBird ZERO. A Bi-Wire COMBO with BASS and ZERO cables joined together at the amplifier is usually most convenient. When Tri-Wiring, use BASS cables on the Midrange and Bass inputs.
Caution: Do not Bi-Wire with two ZERO cables. ZERO cables in-parallel can create a very high-frequency resonant peak (ringing), and resulting poor sound. Only use a ZERO plus a BASS cable (whether or not joined as a COMBO). Second best is a single ZERO with AQ Bi-Wire jumpers.
